Aloe vera L. is used largely in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and agro-food industries. The in vitro technique was proposed as an alternative method for large-scale propagation and/or conservation breeding programmes in response to the increasing...
Plant available phosphorus (P) is limited in the vast rice-fallow areas where the soil is mainly acidic. Screening of fifty lentil genotypes in soil cylinder filled with solid-phase P-buffer identified genotypes with high P-acquisition ability even...
Resting or grazing exclusion is an effective practice widely adopted to restore degraded, arid rangelands. To understand its effect on plant diversity, we studied Hill’s diversity indices during two growing seasons (2017–2019). The experiment...
In Morocco, the adoption of recent improved wheat varieties is low, casting doubt on whether investments in wheat research are paying off. This paper generates estimates of the returns to the national and international investment in wheat research...
Conservation agriculture (CA) practices are becoming more important in Mediterranean rainfed areas
due to their potential to minimize climatic risk, reduce soil erosion, and improve soil quality and water
availability. Due to minimum soil disturbance...
Twenty lambs (18 ± 0.22 kg initial weight) were blocked by weight and individually assigned into pens to evaluate the effects of barley straw variety on digestibility, growth performance and carcass characteristics. The following four treatments were...
Even though host plant resistance has long been recognized as the foundation of integrated pest management, research in North Africa, West and Central Asia only started in 1980. The recent use of Focused Identification of Germplasm Strategy has...
